Selected primary and authoritative sources referenced across the site.
This page is an at-a-glance index of the most commonly cited primary and authoritative sources on this site. It is not exhaustive; the complete citation for any specific claim lives inline on the page where the claim appears, immediately below the paragraph or chart that references it. Media reporting and commentary are grouped separately so you can weigh them accordingly. If you find an error or a missing source, tell me and I will fix it.
Note: some primary sources (particularly PDFs on onelagoon.org) sit behind Cloudflare bot protection and may occasionally show a "checking your browser" screen or fail to load on mobile Safari and some networks. Where that happens, I have added a small (backup) link next to the citation that points to an Internet Archive capture of the same document. Backup links resolve to the closest available archived snapshot; if a specific timestamp matters for your use, use the Wayback Machine calendar view at web.archive.org.
